Chapter 281: The Story of Yin Tianqi

Outside Yin Tianqi's room, the area was packed with people. Seeing Yin Tianue walk out, Tie Feng took the lead and asked with concern:

"Young Miss, how is the Young Villa Master?"

Tie Feng had grown up with Yin Tianqi since childhood; although the two were master and servant, their bond was like that of brothers, which was why Tie Feng was so worried about Yin Tianqi's condition.

Looking at the many people before her who were worried about Yin Tianqi, Yin Tianxue smiled and said:

"Rest assured, the doctor has already examined Big Brother, and he is in no serious danger.

Thank you all for your concern for Big Brother. Everyone didn't get to drink well today, but next time we will invite you all to drink to your hearts' content."

"As long as he's fine, as long as he's fine."

Tie Feng muttered to himself.

Once it was confirmed that Yin Tianqi was alright, Tie Feng led the group away.

After all, they were responsible for the security of Yujian Villa and could not afford to be careless.

Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao took turns caring for Yin Tianqi, and whenever they grew tired, they would lean on the table to rest for a while.

The next morning, Yin Tianqi slowly regained consciousness.

Looking at the familiar room before him, Yin Tianqi felt an immediate sense of belonging in his heart.

Seeing Yin Tianxue asleep on the table to the side, Yin Tianqi wore a smile on his face.

Sure enough, those who are good to you are always your kin; only kin would worry about you like this.

Yin Tianqi took a garment from the cupboard, then slowly walked over to Yin Tianxue's side and covered her with it.

Yin Tianqi looked at himself in the mirror—his messy beard and weathered face; where was the appearance of the dashing young master of Yujian Villa from before?

Yin Tianqi walked to the wardrobe, found a well-fitting set of clothes, and quietly headed to the bathhouse.

In the bathhouse, Yin Tianqi scrubbed his body vigorously, then faced the mirror and shaved off all his dirty, messy beard, revealing his sharp, well-defined features.

The dashing young master was still that same dashing young master, only now his face was filled with stories.

Changing into a clean set of clothes and combing his hair properly, the high-spirited Yin Tianqi of the past had returned.

Back in Yin Tianqi's room, after Yin Tianxue woke up and saw that the bed was empty, she muttered:

"Brother, where are you?"

Seeing no answer, Yin Tianxue rushed out the door and shouted:

"Someone come quickly, the Young Villa Master is gone again!"

Upon hearing Yin Tianxue's shout, Tie Feng immediately led his men over.

"Young Miss, what happened?"

Yin Tianxue said worriedly:

"When I woke up just now, I discovered that Big Brother was not in the room again.

I am worried that he might have left; everyone, please hurry and search."

Just as Tie Feng was about to lead his men to search for Yin Tianqi, Yin Hao's voice rang out.

"No need!" As the words fell, Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi walked out.

It turned out that after Yin Tianqi had finished grooming himself, he had gone to Yin Hao's room.

As a son, he had not been by his father's side, and he felt deeply guilty, so he went to Yin Hao's room first to admit his mistake.

Yin Tianqi had just entered Yin Hao's room and hadn't even had the chance to say two words to Yin Hao when Yin Tianxue's shout came from outside the door.

Thus, the two of them walked out of the room and came to where Yin Tianxue was.

Looking at the dashing young master appearance of Yin Tianqi, Yin Tianxue smiled:

"Big Brother, welcome back.

You kept me very busy during the time you were away; now that you are back, I can finally do the things I want to do.

You cannot leave again this time; you must help Father handle the affairs of Yujian Villa."

Yin Tianqi replied with an apologetic look:

"Tianxue, rest assured, this time Big Brother will not be willful again.

It is Big Brother who has let you down, making you shoulder so many things for me."

Afterward, Yin Tianqi teased her:

"It was Big Brother who kept you from going to find Tong Zhan; Big Brother is truly sorry for affecting your meeting."

Yin Tianxue did not expect Yin Tianqi to say such things in front of so many people, and she said with a flushed face:

"Big Brother, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Yin Tianqi turned his head to look at Tie Feng, and Tie Feng was also staring at Yin Tianqi.

The two, who were like brothers, embraced tightly.

Yin Tianqi spoke:

"Tie Feng, long time no see!"

Tie Feng said excitedly:

"Young Villa Master, long time no see.

Where have you been all this time? You worried me to death."

Yin Tianqi did not want to bring up his experiences in front of so many people; he pushed Tie Feng away and said:

"Tie Feng, come into the room with us; let's go inside and talk!"

Tie Feng knew that Yin Tianqi certainly did not want to tell everyone about his experiences; he nodded, followed Yin Tianqi, Yin Tianxue, and Yin Hao into the room, and closed the door.

The four sat around the table, and after Yin Tianxue poured a cup of tea for each of them, she said:

"Alright, Big Brother, you can tell us now about your experiences over the past half year.

How did you become so weathered in just half a year?"

Yin Tianqi drank the water in his cup in one gulp and began to recount his story:

"Half a year ago, after I made a cenotaph for Zhao Yun using her belongings, I didn't know where to go for a time.

So I traveled along, bumpy and rough, and spent all the money I had on buying drinks to get drunk every night.

Later, I was penniless, and then I began to wander the streets.

For this past half-year, I spent every day doing manual labor, then took my wages to buy alcohol at night.

I lived my days like that every single day.

It wasn't until ten days ago, when a fellow worker suddenly died, that his family came to claim his corpse in such heartbreaking grief; when I saw that scene, I suddenly thought of you all.

I suddenly woke up to the truth: although I lost Zhao Yun, I still have you all.

You are my closest family, so I left the construction site.

Relying on my longing for you, I persisted all the way back to Yujian Villa."

After finishing, Yin Tianqi knelt down with a thud in front of Yin Hao and said:

"Father, it is your child who is unfilial; I have made you worry for me.

Your child now understands the importance of family, and I will certainly help Father manage Yujian Villa from now on, so that this century-old family business will not be ruined by my hands."

In the original story, it was only because of the disappearance of Yin Hao and Yin Tianxue that Yin Tianqi had to take on the heavy responsibility of being the Villa Master of Yujian Villa.

In this lifetime, after witnessing the various states of the Human Realm, Yin Tianqi finally understood where his own responsibilities lay and had a sudden change of heart.

Yin Hao helped the weeping Yin Tianqi up, held him tightly, and said:

"Tianqi, you have truly grown up.

Father knows that Zhao Yun's death was a great blow to you, but seeing you able to walk out of it in such a short time makes Father very gratified.

Father is very gratified to see you so sensible now, and Father can now truly hand Yujian Villa over to you."

The father and son embraced tightly; this was the joy of reunion, and also the handover of the Villa Master's authority.

Yin Tianxue said playfully from the side:

"Brother, now that you are the Villa Master, I won't have to worry so much anymore.

I can go find Tong Zhan with peace of mind."

Yin Tianqi wiped the tears from his eyes, turning his crying into a smile:

"Alright, Tianxue, your big brother knows you are thinking of your sweetheart.

But I have only just taken charge of Yujian Villa, and there are surely some things I haven't sorted out yet; you must help your big brother share the burden.

If you don't help your own family now, it will be even more impossible after you are married.

So, you must help me out properly now; I can't let that kid Tong Zhan get off so easily."

Yin Tianxue looked at the smiling Yin Tianqi, and she also smiled.

She was very happy, because the fact that Yin Tianqi could say these words meant that he had completely walked out of the shadow of Zhao Yun's death.

Tie Feng also said excitedly at this moment:

"Young Master—no, Villa Master, welcome home!"

Yin Tianqi patted Tie Feng on the shoulder and laughed:

"Tie Feng, you must help me manage Yujian Villa well from now on."

The prodigal son Yin Tianqi finally took on the responsibility of being the Villa Master of Yujian Villa, and the heavy burden on Yin Hao and Yin Tianxue was finally lifted by more than half.
